For an allergy free cookbook, there are a lot of peanut, nut, and sesame seed recipes. However, the author does a great job of presenting alternatives and variations to modify most of the recipes for different allergies. The book is packed with info, including nutritional information for each recipe, an easy to understand system of icons, and chef's tips. I do wish there were more photos -- the majority of the recipes have no photo or illustration, even when the recipe takes up only half the page, leaving blank space that practically begs for a photo!

Some very interesting recipes in this book. I wanted it to try different recipes. Highly recommend it to any with allergies.

Cooking Allergy-Free by Jenna Short

2014
Nonfiction, cooking

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review.

As a caterer, Jenna Short, specializes in servicing those with specific dietary needs. Her cookbook is a great addition to your cooking library especially given the increase of food allergies today. She provides advice on preparing an allergy free pantry as she knows how difficult it can be to prepare safe and delicious meals for family or friends.

A wonderful collection of recipes for those with food allergies.

I did not realize that I had not submitted my review for this book. My apologies.
